Default C4 weather stripping

What is the best replacement weather stripping for a 95 vett? I see a few different brands but I'm not sure what one to get. Thanks in advance

Have a set of kit of Corvette Rubber Company weatherstrip on my shelf for replacement in the next couple of months. Seems like quality stuff.

I got some from them for my new convertible top install last summer. It was great.

Do I need an adhesive for the rear coupe hatch glass weatherstrip?
I searched and got mixed answers.

Nope…remove trim and old rubber, install new (I just left the OEM white grease on the body lip where the rubber slides on/attaches), reinstall trim then maybe put some treatment/protectant on the rubber…done!

Oops I already cleaned the white stuff off. Any suggestions for a replacement?
Also any suggestions for treatment/protectant for the rubber?

probably just lithium grease? Maybe some sylguide but that stuff can have a smell? Any goop that is rubber/plastic safe would be fine. It just allows the rubber to have a little slip.

As for the rubber I just rubbed some 303 protectant on it, just to help with the initial seating of the rubber so it had a little “slip” to it with the glass and for extra protection. Probably unnecessary.
